Monitoring a package is as easy as adding a package name to the config file; no need to learn another DSL.\n\n## The feeds\n\nAll active feed URLs can be found in [docs/feeds.txt](docs/feeds.txt).\n\n## How it works\n\n- You configure in `config.yml` feed metadata and a list of [Debian source packages](https://sources.debian.org/) to monitor;\n\n- The `update.yml` GitHub Actions workflow is run periodically, which invokes `src/update.py`;\n\n- `src/update.py` fetches `debian/watch` for each source package from the sid (unstable, i.e. most up-to-date) distribution and runs [`uscan(1)`](https://manpages.debian.org/buster/devscripts/uscan.1.en.html) to determine the latest version of each package; then it generates/refreshes feeds as necessary. The following feeds are generated:\n\n  - `docs/aggregate.xml`: an aggregate feed for all monitored packages;\n  - `docs/\u003cpackage\u003e.xml`: a separate feed for each package.\n\n  The feeds only contain the latest version for each package, so individual package feeds are always single-entry. The feeds are placed in the unfortunately-named `docs` directory in order to be served by GitHub Pages.\n\nNote: In addition to packages bootstrapped from Debian, you can supply your own watch file for a package as `watch_overrides/\u003cpackage\u003e`, useful in the following scenarios:\n\n- Debian does not package the software;\n- The Debian package does not contain `debian/watch` (e.g. `golang-defaults`);\n- The Debian package's watch file does not monitor the latest version for whatever reason (e.g. Debian's `imagemagick` is pegged to v6, whereas the latest release track is v7).\n\n## Copyright\n\nThis repo is brought to you by Zhiming Wang \u003c\u003ci@zhimingwang.org\u003e\u003e under WTFPL.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzmwangx%2Frelease-feeds","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fzmwangx%2Frelease-feeds","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzmwangx%2Frelease-feeds/lists"}
